With SteemFest2 less than two weeks away, we’re right on schedule to deliver an exciting, professional-grade, teaser trailer for you in Lisbon!
Director, Doug Karr, actors, and crew were hard at work this past week completing the principal photography. For those who aren’t familiar with film jargon, principal photography is the phase of film production in which the movie is filmed, with actors on set and cameras rolling, as distinct from pre-production and post-production.
We filmed in a variety of locations around the New York City area this past week and are happy to report that the results have far exceeded our expectations.
Our team is excited to give you this glimpse of our teaser trailer that will be screened in just a few weeks! Fantastic on-set stills courtesy @strangedove and @andrarchy.
Question For The Director
The art of filmmaking requires such a multifaceted skillset and the creative process is as fascinating as it is complex. We took some time out of HardFork Series director, Doug Karr’s ( @dougkarr ) frenetic schedule to learn more.
Q: You had an incredibly hectic shooting schedule this past week. What's more fun for you, the filming or the editing phase of this process?
A: I love both...but for different reasons. In editing I have total control and can spend as long as I want molding the clay. Directing is amazing because you have to be right there in the moment as it's happening and if you miss an opportunity it's gone forever (or at least till the re-shoot ;-) but that is also when the magic happens and that can be stunning and amazingly fulfilling. It's a battle against time, but the more you're completely there and the cast and crew are cooking along with you the better everything works and the more fun you have in the process. Over the last five production days on the HardFork Teaser Trailer, I had the immense pleasure of being surrounded by hugely talented artists who were all striking it out of the park, so that made my job of harnessing serendipity pretty easy!
We hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the progress of creating our teaser trailer! This next week, Doug and team, will be steeped in the post production phase of the trailer, editing the footage shot this previous week and adding special effects.
Thank you all so much, Steemit community, for the continued show of support for our project!
